Premiere: Zenker Brothers showcase menacing techno with ‘Perainer’

The Ilian Tape label bosses get wicked for Repitch Recordings

Munich based duo Zenker Brothers deliver their contribution to Repitch Recordings’ ‘Dys Functional Electronic Music’ compilation with ‘Perainer’, a gritty and ominous techno track.

‘Perainer’ is a trip back in time for Zenker Brothers, who produced the track around 2011: "We recorded this 5-6 years ago and it is probably the most evil sounding track we've made so far. Sometimes the machines decide where we're going and on this night they were celebrating a shaman ceremony or something."

As described by the label, the material found on the ‘Dys Functional Electronic Music’ compilation is “deviating from norms or distancing itself from common club functionalism”. With this in mind, listeners can expect 16 tracks from the likes of Skudge, Pinch, Ascion, Mike Parker and more, that smashes genre boundaries and showcasing a unique approach.

‘Dys Functional Electronic Music’ is set for release on March 16 via Repitch Recordings.
